Answering God

When he called, the boy answered
coming, Master, I am here
he answered God in the same way
I am listening Lord, what do you want of me
Ready, right then, to follow the Master’s call
whatever that may be
So must we, be ready, prepared, listening
to hear the call for us, our particular path
our special call, to bring God’s love, his kingdom
to this troubled world; we must answer
But more still, we must listen
